If you have enough foam cut-off's, do both rock and ice monsters! Otherwise, you can always do them as ice, then re-do them as rock monsters, later. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Glad you like it. 
Since not much foam is needed for a hand-sized critter, I could build a horde of those buggers with the stuff I have at hand.
The limitations that are more important are time and the clutter-factor, i.e. that in the end the stuff, no matter how cool it is, will take away storage space. Oh, and: It will probably be used only a couple of times in games, with years in between uses...

Boy, do I understand that! I am careful what I make because if it won't see enough usage in play, it does not get made. I've got pounds (literally, multiple pounds of weight's worth) of vinyl floor tile pieces which I attached dungeon prints to make 2D modular dungeon terrain out of. I played with it a couple of times, only. I do not do a lot of dungeon crawls, and my Chessex Mondo Mat is really a blast to use. I find the tiles limiting, as I don't have all of the right pieces I will need to map out my dungeons with -- would likely need several pounds more of vinyl floor tile pieces to have enough! I've got the vinyl floor tiles to make into dungeon tiles, but since I really don't use it more than once every five years, it isn't worth it. There is also a pleasure in drawing things out with a yard stick, and colored markers, on my Mondo Mat. I drew many a dungeon map on blue graph paper in my teenage years, and the Mondo Mat is so much like that, on a larger scale. I guess I am old school, at heart. Cheers! |

I enjoyed seeing your new rock monsters. But those dinosaurs with their heads encased in silicone mold material reminded me a little too much of Dick Francis's book "Proof"!

Never have I read a book by Dick Francis. I looked it up, because of your post, margaret . I assume you are referring to the killer in that book? Making an educated guess based on some reviewer comments I read on Amazon. One fellow commented that when he re-read the chase scene(?), he waited for broad daylight, but he still had to change his pants, afterwards... I may have to look up "Proof," in my public library. You have piqued my interest, along with the reviewer's comments. Cheers! |

I didn't went so far as to go through book reviews, but now you have piqued my interest... margaret, could you enlighten us a bit more, without 'spoilering' too much? |

Do you know what 'plaster bandages' are? Hope that isn't too spoilery
And yes, that scene is appalling for the mental imagery it causes.
I have read all of Dick Francis's books. If you are going to take a look at them, look up a "best of" recommendation online. Everyone has their own favorites of course, but his final ones were mostly not quite as good as the middle years. Do NOT bother with Second Wind, one of the final ones. It would give you a completely wrong idea of his ability.
[Edit] I should add that 'Proof' is one of the best!

margaret , you are a skilled angler/fisher-person! You've hooked two forum members into reading Francis books! Bravo! Well done! LOL! You also made me laugh. I truly appreciate that. Thank you.
